Find Function In Python

In this article, we will discuss the find function in Python.

Purpose

The find function searches for a substring within a larger string. If the substring is found, the function will return the position (index) of the substring within the larger string. If the substring is not found, the function will return -1.

Example

str = "this is string example"

print("string 'example' is found at position:", str.find("example"))
print("string 'xx' is found at position:", str.find("xx"))
